One of Europe's most charming creatures lives in the quiet forests of the Austrian Alps: the Eurasian squirrel. With its fluffy tail, alert eyes and elegant agility, it looks as if it has stepped straight out of a fairy tale. Between moss-covered tree trunks, soft light and dense coniferous greenery, this little forest animal reveals all its playful personality.
The so-called "fairytale forest" of the Alps offers exactly the kind of atmosphere you imagine from children's stories: subdued sunlight falling through the canopy, sparkling dewdrops in the morning and the scent of fresh resin in the air. There, the squirrel scurries over roots and stones, pauses, listens - and gazes curiously into the world, as if sensing the magic of its home with every breath.
This motif captures the delicate connection between animal and landscape. Austria's Alpine kingdom shows its playful, calm and nature-loving side here. The little squirrel becomes the ambassador of a forest that is full of life, warmth and imagination. A moment full of natural charm - and a picture that captures the magic of nature in its most beautiful form.
